Starseed
Window to the Abbey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'll talk to you all night over coffee
And right around 4 a.m. when all our thoughts start blending in
And give way to heavy eyes
I'll crawl into bed with you
Whisper one more "I love you"
Watch you fade into sleep
I'll set in mind a starseed
We might not agree on things like theology
But I swear I see God in you when you smile at me
And right around 5 a.m., when the wine is gone and you've given in
To all of my ridiculous drives
You look at me the way you do
I bring my lips close to you
Bring back the feelings you need
And we turn on the lights, you starseed
Then the spell takes the wing while the devil sits there watching
And patiently waiting for you
Oh, and that's when I will look at you
You be mean, the tapestry
Remind me again of the truth
All the things we laughed about
Push away the fear and doubt
As I recall the only thing I need
Is another night of starseed
And the spell takes the wing while the devil sits there watching
And patiently waiting for you
Say the spell takes the wing while the devil sits there watching
And patiently waiting for you
Well, I'm still waiting
I'm waiting for you
Well I'm waiting
